"Thank you Clarke. You have no idea how much this will benefit the case." Kane says as he looks at the recorder. "I was only telling the truth." I say, wiping away the last of my tears that had spilled from me telling the horrifying story. Kane smiles at me weakly and puts the recorder in his pocket. "Let me see if Bellamy is back, stay right here."

Kane walks out of the tent and the sound of a brief conversation fills my ears. The tent flap is pulled back and in strides Bellamy. His face softens as he sees me and he smiles idely at me before hugging me tight. "I'm fine Bell..." I giggle with a small sniff. He looks at me skeptically and we both laugh.

"Thanks again, Clarke. If there is anything you need, don't be afraid to call for me." Kane says, smiling at me too. I nod my head and Bellamy starts to push me outside.

I shiver a little as the cold air hits my skin, the night being a lot colder than the day. I rub my arms in attempt to warm them, and Bellamy must have noticed as we stop dead in our tracks. "Bellamy, why have we-" He drapes his jacket over my arms and starts to push me again, a small grin playing on his cheeks.

"But Bell, you'll get cold." I reason, but he doesn't listen. "You need it much more than I do right now Clarke. Now shut up and accept the jacket." He jokes. I smile at him and push my arms into his jacket, the size difference comforting me in my time of need.

"Ok. What do you fancy. Deer, rabbit, fish or our delicacy, jaguar." Bellamy presents in a faux-french accent as we approach the food table. I laugh at his attempt to be french and say, "Hmmmm. I have got to ask, how special is this jaguar?" "Well. The hunting party caught it yesterday, and Fox is part of the preperation team, so as you could guess, pretty damn special."

Back when it was only The 100 on earth (besides grounders), Fox would always prepare the big, freshly caught meals and they always tasted amazing.

"Oh my god! Then the jaguar hands down." I answer, throwing my hands into my lap. We chuckle between ourseves and Bellamy grabs us both a stick of jaguar then pushes me out of the crowded food tent. I had it pretty good. Being in a wheelchair meant that I got first pick of all of the food that was offered to everyone, though the reason I was in the wheelchair in the first place wasn't the best.

Bellamy pushes me towards the fire pits, where our group of friends was already sat eating. Rule in camp was that of you caught the food yourself you got to eat it, but anything that came back from hunting parties was for all of camp.

Everyone shouts and cheers as they see me, and nearly everyone runs to greet me. I am engulfed in hugs by everyone, and a million and one questions are thrown at me at once.

~~~~~

Everyone was now calm and we had all sat back down, though I hadn't answered any questions people had asked me yet. Everyone in our friendship group was here, and they were all sat in this order from my left to my right. It was, Bellamy, Harper, Monty, Jasper, Fox, Raven, Lincoln and Octavia.

"Ok! Now that I can actually hear you all, yes I am ok. And thank you all for finding me." I declare across the group. "It was all Bellamy, Clarke. He forced your mum and Kane to let us go. If they said no, which they weren't going to do, he was going to escape and do it regardless." Raven says, gesturing to the man beside me.

I smile at him gratefully and bite into my piece of jaguar, my mouth exploding at the quality of the food. "Oh my god, Fox! This is amazing!" I fawn, diving into it again for more. Everyone chuckles and Fox lights up. Jasper wraps his arm around her shoulders and kisses the side of her head proudly.

"Wait, so is literally everyone here dating someone?" I pipe up, staring at their interaction. "God, Clarke. You have missed so much!" Octavia teases. "Pretty much." Jasper says proudly. "Well go on, who's dating who and how did it happen?!" I squeal, feeling bad that I have missed out on so much.
